The five contractors who were involved in the multimillion-dollar road works project along Highway 1 have been instructed to rectify the flaws along that road.

Minister of Transport, Works and Water Resources Ian Gooding-Edghill said they were all told to complete the snagging work left behind after the ten-month long resurfacing of the road.

The minister and a team from the MTW, including Charles Griffith, minister in the ministry; deputy chief technical officer, Philip Tudor and deputy chief technical officer, design, Jason Bowen, took to the radio call-in programme Down To Brass Tacks yesterday following several calls from concerned citizens about the state of the completed road.
